Great Stay, Fantastic Room, and a Beautiful Location
Pros:

We had a very good stay overall. We arrived a little early, and we were pleased to find that our room was already ready for us. The room size was great, the bathroom was lovely, the bed was comfy, and the shower was fantastic with excellent water pressure.
We stayed for dinner and found a good choice on the menu at a very reasonable value. The service was okay—not exceptional, but the restaurant was very busy and there were only two staff members working, so they were doing their absolute best under the circumstances. Breakfast the next morning was great, featuring a cooked-to-order menu with a good choice of hot items alongside continental options.
With its great location and comfortable accommodations, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay

Cons:

Nothing

Great stay overall.
Pros:

Great location. Ample parking. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was delicious. The room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

The Dornie was a bit tired and in need of an update. It lacked warmth and personality and was expensive compared to other hotels we stayed in during our trip.

Pros:

Het is een ouder hotel waar het beneden in t restaurant en in de pub erg gezellig is. Er hangt een goede sfeer. De slaapkamers zijn verouderd en het ruikt er erg muf.
